Last month, Boise’s Treefort Music Fest revealed the first phase of its lineup, and it was off to a promising start with a roster led by Toro Y Moi and Liz Phair. Today, Treefort has announced its second round of artists, and the lineup is only getting stronger.
Two of the additions are most notable, one being Vince Staples, who had one of 2018’s finest hip-hop albums with his short-but-substantial FM!. The other is American Football, the legendary emo band that reformed for a new self-titled album in 2016, and is getting ready to share another self-titled record in 2019. Beyond that, today’s announcement also includes mewithoutYou, JPEGMAFIA, Cherry Glazerr, Sudan Archives, Flint Eastwood, TEEN, and others.
